So where do you think we'll finish?

With Ardley in charge 2nd but we should really be winning this.

Poor start ..Ardley sacked 11 games in...we recover to get a top 7 finish and promotion.
New manager focuses on us winning games rather than us not losing games.....

We have got to start winning more games at home especially to mid and poor teams. Too many draws at home last season,like dover for example when their manager acted like they had won the cup after the draw. Play for the win ,not the draw

Also ardley,s contract expires at the end of the season, if he was to get promotion, he would surely get offered a new 2 or 3 year contract

It’s a win win for the Ardley doubters really. If we don’t get promoted I’m pretty certain he’ll be replaced, but if he does succeed then it means Notts have gone up so they’ll be happy (surely?)

We will have a good year but not go up...3rd.

Ditto

I think we’ll finish top but by no means run away with it.
I think our squad size will be a major advantage with the fixture congestion.

Exactly the same as this year, make the play offs and then fail miserably.

Just voted for 3rd or 4th.
None of us really know how the new players will adapt, especially the overseas ones.
None of us know how well/badly other teams have recruited.
The old cliche "on paper" we may have one of the best and deep squads in this league but that means nothing if they are aren't at it every single game. There are no nailed on 3 points no matter what your ground or history is, ask Sunderland and Portsmouth.

Goalkeeper and defence should be amongst the best, midfield, we don't know until we see them in proper action. Attack, Wootton and Thomas should be good for 25 - 35 goals, Sam and Knowles we have no idea. The former seems to have a trick or two but is he a natural goal scorer, the latter is young, energetic and very keen so it will be fascinating to watch them closely.

An interesting season ahead.

I've followed Notts for over 60 years so am by definition an optimist. I don't want to jinx it but with the new owners and players Notts on paper at least should walk out the National League this season. Last season showed however that most of the refs and away grounds (particularly in winter) are sh1t. Factor in the spoiling tactics of many of the participating teams and it's easy to see why getting out this league is so bleddy difficult. I think Ardley and Abbott have the experience to put out teams that can overcome most if not all these obstacles so I think this season we'll crack it.

Easy 1st with a new points record.
